...Teachers' Oath Law in Massachusetts have proved the efficacy of the oath in turning college professors into rebels--a result the reactionary legislators could hardly have intended. A veritable War of Independence was fought with all of Boston either taking part or looking on. Broadsides of passion, eloquence, logic, ridicule were all fired at the law by the biggest of academic shots. But despite this unanimous support of the repeal bill, it is still in committee, and both the temper of the hearings and the composition of the House make its adoption unlikely...
From the original Koppers process to its present $227,000,000 form, Eastern Gas & Fuel expanded with curious logic. At first the coke plants were constructed for other companies but as soon as Koppers Co. started to build them for itself, it had to find an outlet for the gas. Though most Koppers units sell gas to local utilities, the gas companies serving Boston and its suburbs were bought outright. To use some of the coke it has a blast furnace near Boston. To insure supplies of coal West Virginia mines were acquired. To keep the mines operating efficiently, coal...
This brings us to the second question-against whom is Germany defending herself? Incomprehensible as it may seem to M. Francon, the answer is France. Strangely enough, the Germans cannot follow the Gallic-Anglo-Saxon logic which makes it an axiom that, of the two nations, Germany will be the aggressor. They will even point to the little unpleasantness of 1924, when a defenseless frontier was crossed and the old experiment of wringing blood from a stone performed by this same French Army. If a reason such as was advanced then for the invasion of prostrate Germany suffices...
...true, I hear, that our knowledge is not increased by such deductions for I must already know that Hypatia is a mortal woman before I can intuit the first proposition: "All women are mortal." But, ye faithless ones, must mere logic displace the happy truth that all genius lives forever in the sentiments and ideas it inspires? And was not Hypatia a genius? Was she not beautiful? And modest? And intelligent? And was she not done to death in oyster shells? Holy fishes, is this not enough for immortality? Bless my soul, I should like to teach those girls...
...that a childish interrogation? Instead of working out psychological puzzles, would not you be wiser to use the celebrated French logic and think it out? Isn't it obviously wiser for our two countries to get along together? Wouldn't it be ruinous for both to crash against each other on new battlefields? Isn't it logical that I would wish what is most advantageous for my country? And that which is most advantageous, isn't it obviously peace...
